Oldboy

In tandem with the release of his latest film, ‘Decision to Leave’, coming to Cinecitta on 1 September, we are happy to present Park Chan-wook’s now classic tale of revenge, which was made to be seen on the big screen! After a night on the town, businessman Oh Dae-su (Choi Min-sik) is abducted and held in a tawdry hotel room—for 15 years! Why? He has no idea. Then, just as mysteriously, he is released. Determined to hunt down the person responsible for his incarceration, he is soon in a deadly cat-and-mouse game with his nemesis… ‘Anguished, beautiful and desperately alive, \"Oldboy\" is a dazzling work of pop-culture artistry… \"Oldboy\" makes us feel a part of something bigger than ourselves. It's a grand, gritty, indelible experience, the sort of picture that mimics great literature in the way it envelops you in a well-told story while also evoking subtle but strong gradations of emotion.’—Stephanie Zacharek, Salon
